Where are you my brother?

[True Dough]

1. You're referring to H2O Man, malaise?

Has it been that long since his last post? Hope all is well with him. He's a treasure.

[malaise]

2. Yep

Haven't seen him in a while and just saw a post from H2Oart.

5. It's funny/strange:

The other day I happened to go over my DU mailings, the PM’s, over the last several years, and saw a few names which had escaped from my memory, but at one time I actually had a corresponding relationship with. Quite a number of these people are gone, some of them for a very long time. Several of these individuals were active and prominent here, and they just vanished. I looked at their final posts and there were in many cases absolutely no indication that they were leaving. There are actually a fair number of us left over from the very early days, I got here in 2004, but it would be most interesting to see who is still here but only lurking, who had left in a fit of pique , and who was tombstoned.

6. Sometimes we need the quiet.

A lot of us old timers here now. Add 20yrs to our original DU selves.

9. Hush now. I try not to think about that.

[blm]

10. I know. 🙁

But, I do think about it anyway at times like this. I just don’t usually post about it.

[Solly Mack]

12. I think about it too. That twenty year span covers a lot of life happening.

[calimary]

33. AND a lot of wisdom gathered.

Hopefully, at least.

I’m proud of every white hair on my head. Every one of them was earned legitimately. And frankly, I’m proud that I even still HAVE hair on my head!

By now, I see it as a “fashion statement”! (Same way I see mask-wearing!)

[Solly Mack]

34. I make no claims to wisdom, but I do have a head full of hair.

So there is that.

15. I get that I started in my 40's

And now 65.

[malaise]

13. I got here in 2004 as well

I have noticed that every now and then old timers return and that does make me happy.

[blm]

16. Same

Happy and relieved.

[SalviaBlue]

17. I've been here since 2005 according to my profile.

I’ve actually been here longer under a different name. I came by way of The late great Bartcop. I rarely post but I read pretty much every day.

35. I think some of them just abandon their old persona

and sign in as someone new

Hopefully he'll give us a holler when he can.

And when it comes to caring about Democracy, you’re no slouch either, malaise.

If you could meet any DUer in person, who would it be?

[H2O Man]

25. Thank you!

For informing me of this post.

I read his OP here about a week ago. It sounds like he is busy with the Josh Riley campaign to defeat Claudia Tenney in NYS's 22nd district. He's also apprarently writing essays on political organization for another internet site, which to my understanding reaches people from coast to coast. Considering how old and feeble he is, that likely takes all of his energy! (grin)

We have got to maintain control of the House, as you well know, my Wonderful Sister! And that is my current focus in recent times. While I cannot do all the things I used to do, I'm finding that there are some new things for me to do. So one can teach an old dog new tricks!

[spanone]

26. Give him our best!

[H2O Man]

27. He's so old & moldy

that he'll probably forget to tell him. Or even if he does, he'll forget!

[spanone]

28. Right there with him!!!!

[malaise]
